By: Section 7228 of the Local Option Act, it is provided as follows: ‘Nothing in the two preceding Sections shall be construed to pro- hibit any person from ordering liquor for his own or nee iw the percent using, same.’ The two preceding us re- ferred to in Section 7228 above quoted, prohibit the ordering, keeping. or storing for or. deliver- ing to another of intoxicating liquor in Local-Option Counties. It follows, therefore, that the Court may enjoin the defendant from delivering . intoxicating liquors to persons who have been convicted of a violation of the Local Option law, to minors, cor- porations, firms and associations of individuals, but not to adult in- dividuals who have not been con- victed of a violation of the Local Option Law, where the same are ordered for their aii private or family use.
